Purple Haze

Purple Haze

I wrote some purple prose
Filled it with profanity
Thrusting and grinding
Lust induced insanity

My language was too strong
I was censored and redacted
I had to cut some words
My scenes were too protracted

Here’s what I was left with
The editor’s edition
They say it’s fairly good
But still needs some revision

Once upon a time there was a girlShe ventured out into the worldShe met a boy and long story shortHe was kind and sweet and just her sortThey went on a dateThey had a little funFell in love and got marriedThen the story was done

Now there’s a purple haze
Where my words used to be
Next time I’ll choose my editor
More carefully!
